WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, who parted ways with AEW earlier this year, has been keeping busy with several projects since his exit. As a veteran of the wrestling business, Henry is no stranger to the behind-the-scenes traditions that have long been a part of the industry, including the infamous wrestlers court. Recently, Henry spoke out about claims of bullying associated with this backstage practice, setting the record straight on what it was really about.
During a recent episode of Huge Pop!, Henry addressed concerns that wrestlers court was a form of bullying. He emphasized that these sessions were more about entertainment than anything else. Henry explained that wrestlers court was a light-hearted tradition meant to poke fun at wrestlers, not to humiliate or intimidate them.
The Worlds Strongest Man suggested that the idea of bullying stems from people who took the proceedings too seriously. According to Henry, anyone who felt pressured could easily diffuse the situation by relaxing with a drink. He even shared that the judges decision could often be swayed by a simple bribeusually a bottle of Jack Daniels.
While Mark Henry clearly enjoyed the lighter side of wrestlers court, not everyone in the wrestling world feels the same way. CM Punk, for example, has been vocal about his disdain for the concept when it was used in WWE. However, Henry remains firm in his belief that wrestlers court was a fun tradition, and he doesnt see it as anything harmful.
